How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Elsing. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Elsing

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Elsing: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Do you need sink repair in Elsing?
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Crazing in the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
